Dear Sir, hello. Thanks you very much for thé vidéo, it's very helpful. About thé vibrato, how long could it take to happen from thé time a Singer starts using a good vocal technique ? Could it take up to 3 to 5 years or more to Come Out in a singer's voice ? I Ask this question because I have been practicing classical singing for more than a year and I still don't get vibrato in my voice. I do my best to apply a correct vocal technique that you've mentionned : deep breathing and well supported tone, an open and loose throat and I don't sing breath. M'y voice IS projected and air doesn't not escape through my vocal chords. I try to do my vocal work everyday. Do I need to worry because of thé lack of vibrato or it Can take 3 to 5 years or more before coming out in my voice ? Thank you very much. Take good care of you.

Unfortunately there is no set amount of time. I usually think of vibrato as a symptom of the condition of the voice. If it still hasn't appeared I would take that to mean you still aren't totally free yet. It is hard to say why without hearing you though.

Thanks for the interesting information. I think it might help if you made it clear which kinds of students would benefit from your advice. For example, are you basically speaking to aspiring opera singers or would your videos also apply to people who sing with low volume and always with mics/amplification? Another thing would be to give aspiring singers a sense of developmental progression, that is, what things should they learn first, then second, then third, etc.

Thanks for your comment. I am mainly focused on the functional aspects of the voice. I see that as fundamental to any kind of vocal use. Even speaking, which I have helped many people improve. The style of singing will influence to what degree we do things but the basic principles are universal. These fundamentals are what need to be learned first. Unfortunately we can't learn just one part first and then the second part and so on because the voice is an instrument that requires the coordination of several parts at the same time. Of course we can't do that very well right away. But we have t do the best we can and then gradually improve at coordinating everything. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much you help me to understand the principal so i can create my own method. Juste one question : what do you think about cry vocal Mode ?

It depends on how it is done. I always say how is more important than what. All of the things we might think of doing, cry mode being one, is only beneficial to the degree that it causes a productive response in the body. So that idea could be helpful for someone if it causes a productive response in their body because they were lacking that before. But if it doesn't create a helpful response there is no value. Plus, it could cause an undesirable response like closing the throat. Then it is harmful. So it all depends.

Michael, just so I'm totally understanding this- you are saying that we inhale, close the glottis, THEN phonate, yes? I can get a sense of this when there's time to inhale. How do you suggest making this happen in between phrases where there's only time for a catch breath? How would we emply this middle step before phonating?

Thanks for you question, Cameron. Yes, that is the sequence. But when we do it spontaneously it all happens in the time of a catch breath. When the inhale stops the glottis closes automatically. The trick is conditioning yourself to not exhale when you phonate. That will open the glottis again. What many have difficulty with, which can lead them to believe this is wrong, is glottal closure is not something difficult that we have to try hard to keep it closed. When someone does try to keep the glottis closed by holding it a very negative condition is created. This is why I don't describe it as closure anymore. I just want there to be contact of the edges of the cords when they start. Then with each vibration cycle the edges contact again before opening and releasing a puff of air, then closing and opening again. For too many people when you mention closure that is all they think about and it creates interference. We don't want to be always open, but we don't mean to be always closed either.

VocalWisdom.com thank you for that response! When you say “don’t exhale”, we are nearly singing form that pre-closed position by keeping the bodily engagement, correct? Otherwise we’d blow all the air immediately.

The body engagement is the breathing coordination. I have people start the practice session with simple respiration. Not trying to make it bigger or stronger. The opposite, actually. Breath simpler, smoother. Get in touch with what it feels like to simply breath in and out. Then we can start and stop at will. This is what was meant in the old days as breath control. You can start and stop the breathing as you wish and you can breath more or less. We need to be in command of our breathing. Then we can begin the vocalization while keeping the breathing in service to the voice rather than the typical situation where the breath dominates the voice and goes through and out. I'm not sure what your meaning of body engagement is, we all have different meaning for things. But I would encourage you to rely on the respiratory system to control the breathing and use the natural results of the breathing cycle to control glottal conditions. Don't flex or hold anything deliberately to control something else. Often I observe people doing too much "staying out" in an attempt to keep the breath from going out too much. But if the voice is vocalizing naturally we don't need to work to keep the air in. It only releases at the rate the voice uses it. That is the bottom line. We are vocalizing, we need to let the voice do that. We can't let the breath go wild but we also should not be holding it arbitrarily. It needs to release naturally as the voice uses it. There is a concept, also from Lamperti, let the voice take the breath it needs. We breath and let the breath go to the voice. Not beyond it but to it. And we must not hold it back because then we don't have the necessary air pressure to allow the voice to function freely. It is all a balancing act. We release the breath but not too much so the voice can't handle it. Everything in the right proportion. Hope this helps. It is good for me to keep flushing it out.
